{"product_id":"9780692051375","title":"The Strange Paths We All Follow","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen I first set out to write this book, I never thought it would make it this far. I figured it would be a few short stories for my kids to read when they were old enough. Not so much because I wanted to leave a legacy, but because I’ve lived through some crazy stuff. I want to not only show them just how nuts it can all get, but how spectacular it can be as well. I hope they are able to find some sort of lesson in it and maybe live a little better because of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat ended up happening is the book that you hold in your hands. More than I expected, probably because even \u003cem\u003eI\u003c\/em\u003e was unaware of everything I had been through until I started telling it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd, as I told the stories, I came to realize that life is a treasure. I saw just how much I had been through, and all that had almost happened. The times I had been blessed, cursed, and the recipient of pure dumb luck. And, I thought, maybe someone else might like to read this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell congratulations, reader, because you now have in your hands one of the strangest lives I have ever had the privilege to live, and I am glad to have you along for the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Positivity LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014520848624,"sku":"9780692051375","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692051375_p0.jpg?v=1763616057","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692051375","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
